never included as part of driver package for Diamond Monster3D MiniGL is a part of Quake II installation. You don't need to install it separatedly. IIRC the MiniGL installation is optional in GLQuake only. Which one of these would be best? I prefer to use the full ICD (3dfxvgl.dll) not a minigl. …

Well, glide.dll and sst1init.dll were last updated before Voodoo2 release so bad compatibility is expected... Voodoo2 control panel and SSTV2 variables not affect this interface. 1) Try another winglide1x game. 2) Download the SDK (2.1.1) from VogonsDrivers and try glide.dll, sst1init.dll and …

I'm curious if static link games like EF2000 or Whiplash would run on a Banshee. The theory: static linked games can't use the hub architecture (Intel 8xx and later). The code checks the bus 0 only. And fails the card detection (the hub architecture uses 02 for PCI slots, 01 for the AGP slot and 00 …

I know the topic is DOS, but just for curiosity's sake: Will the Windows release of "Dreams to Reality" work with a Voodoo 2? And does anyone have a guess what the issue is with the DOS version, considering that glide can be made to work with a Voodoo 3/4/5? 1. No. 2. The backward compatibility …

1) Can't find a decoding software for install scripts (InstData\ubiins.dat IIRC). 2) The check may be executed from a *.exe. P. S. Pro Rally 2001 installer is affected too.

The source of this trouble is the Ubi-Soft installer. Looks like it uses the "CPU_ID Family_Code=0110" equation to detect PIIIs (EAX[11:8] after CPU_ID(EAX=1)). P4s have 1111 in this field and fails the check.

IIRC glide*x.dll are hardware dependant. So V5 drivers can detect V4/V5 only etc. So not install V1 drivers. Just copy V1 glide2x.dll (or glide3x.dll) and fxmemmap.vxd to the game directory if you want to use a V1.

Gex 2 is glide or d3d+glide. IIRC the EU version (Ubi-Soft) is glide only. The US version (Eidos) is d3d only. And there is the glide patch for this version.

1) HL and HL engine games freeze on the loading screen if a game was started from the autorun. 2) Use something simple to test the glide API. Tech demos as the example.

FF7 is d3d + software. The glide API isn't supported in this game. The unpatched version of FF7 needs palettized textures for the d3d mode. The patch "workarounds" this requirement and the game works with all d3d videocards.
